Early Floyd LPs were some of the best and wildest of stereo mixes at the time. The phasing between channels was part of the sound. The idea of a mono version seems counter intuitive. Enjoyed the update.
You're right about Pink Floyd and new vinyl -- I have the new Animals and WYWH and Animals, especially, knocked my socks off. Will definitely be on the lookout for the early albums. I get the other commenter's point about how they were studio innovators in their use of stereo back then, but you've really intrigued me with the mono recommendation!
All I can say is that the mono Piper and Saucerful are incredible pressings with a big booming sound stage. I took a chance and am wholly satisfied with my purchases. Are you referring to the Animals remix? I get confused over all the reissues!
Great albums there from Floyd in mono ( do you have a mono stylus?) to Coltrane,Miles. The Love album definitely missable not a good effort I'm afraid.
@@songtripping4165 it's okay but I think you need the mono needle to fully appreciate the difference. The switch doesn't read the vinyl grooves. The mono needle has got a completely different shape in order to do that.

Thanks for watching!

No mono stylus, but there's a Mono mode switch on the Marantz Model 1040 amp. Thanks for the comment!
